[Rosina]

[Zaanodes]

What's all the excitement about???

Is something interesting going on??

I wonder....

BINGO! That's it!

I will take one seat, please, Miss Steph.

[Alyssa]

*starts bouncing up and down* I WANT TO FREAKIN' PLAY!!!! .....Pretty please, oh brilliant and gorgeous goddesses that run this fantastic place. *big puppy dog eyes*

[Alyssa]

I swear Steph totally waited to post this until like right after I went to bed..... *looks at Steph* Trying to keep me out, eh? I'm watching you. O_O

[Daffodil]

I'm in! Love this game.

[Michelle]

Carlyn can't get to her computer just now, can I ask for a spot for her, pretty please with a cherry on top? As soon as she gets home she'll come confirm it (she's scared she's going to miss out!).

Start Date: Sunday, 24 July

[KarenF]

I'm in again. I think? Did I make the cut off? Stupid phone makes it hard to count!

[Mary X]

I'll play again. It wasn't as hard to find books for the shelves as I thought it would be.

[A book away from an episode of hoarders]

I skipped round 2 but I'd like to play again this round.

If I missed the cut off, just shove me into the standby pile. :D

[Amanda A]

I'm in!

[Mary X]

OK where are the possible shelves listed? Last time I had a list of what might be called so I could look and make a list of books I had already that were on the applicable shelves. But I can't find the old rounds to look up the possible shelf names.

(I found my teams bingo card from the last one in my comments sectio-I'll go through those shelves to start with).

[Zaanodes]

Mary wrote: "OK where are the possible shelves listed?..."

I don't think Steph has done potential shelves as yet. This round doesn't start until the 24th.

[AH]

Mary, if you have a pile of to-read books look at what categories they would fit under - vampire, angel, demon, witch, dragon, science fiction, fantasy, paranormal romance - a lot of books fit into more than 1 category so there's plenty of books to choose from. Hopefully, you'll have some readily available. I use these games to read some of the free books I have downloaded.

[Rachel-RN]

I'm in if there still is a spot available

[Sarah]

Alyssa - you are hilarious!!

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

YAY! All the dragons made it. Watch out guys - we still have fire-breathing capabilities!!!

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Count me in please! If there is room that is. Boy! we left on our camping trip yesterday afternoon. Didn't think this would happen so fast.

[Amanda]

After pouring over the rules for like twenty minutes, I'll gladly take a spot if there's one left. If not, I'll keep the bench warm in the meantime! : )

I didn't think I was bein' sneaky. I'd dropped hints here and there. Glad everyone made it.

I counted Carlyn, Michelle. :)

Sorry, Amanda. All full up. Would you like me to put you on the stand-by list?

SIGN-UP IS CLOSED! We've reached 36 players! That was faaast!

I'll let everyone know a day in advance of sending out the mandatory PM RSVP request. Please don't forget to reply by the deadline so you can play.

I'll post a ✓ by the player's name once they have responded to their RSVP. When everyone has RSVP'd, I'll randomize players for teams. I'll post a notice here when teams have been created and the team threads are open for chat.

First Shelf Announcement: Sunday, 24 July

Thanks for joining us! Getting excited about R3!! :D

[Alyssa]

No worries, Steph. I'm just givin' you a hard time. It means I like you. :-D

[Steph, Serious series addict]

She likes me ... *blush* ;)

[Amanda]

Yes, please, Steph!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yay! Boy that was fast. Everyone must of enjoyed the last couple of games ;)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Amanda wrote: "Yes, please, Steph!"

Gotcha on the standby list. :)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Sorry! Seems I've missed Sherri's post (#51). I think I was counting and posting when she signed up. So ... that means Heather, I'm sorry, hun, but I need to move ya to the standby list.

Please review the player list, your post #, and make sure I've gotcha.

[Carlyn]

Thanks Michelle and Steph for putting my name in! I could not get to a comp yesterday! :)

[Jackie M]

Bummer I am too late but would love to be on the stanby list.

Mary, if you really want to look, they will be in Archives. Go to the bottom of the threads where it says "more discussions", then go to Archives which is near the bottom and go searching.

Good Luck. LOL

[Mary X]

I just want to make a list of possible book options from my TBR. I'm doing an erotica challenge on paperbackswap for actual book credits. So I wanted to put aside ones that might work for a shelf that might be called. Then I can use it for both.

[Heather ~ Marceline]

Oh well... dang RL getting in the way :D I will be anxiously waiting to be called up from the bench if needed.

[Sarah]

Mary - I'm a member on paperbackswap and I didn't know they did book challenges. How do they work and how to do you find them on the site?

[Regina]

Hi Steph, I would love to play -- is there room left? :)

ETA: I am guessing I am too late given the fact that in the title it says, "Sign up closed". :)

[Cindy (eclecticfirefly)]

Sarah - the book challenges on PBS are few and far between. They are found in the Games forum.

I just finished a PnR/UF challenge. Came in 3rd place for number of different authors read, so I got my credit back. Our own Ming won first place in one of the categories - I think it was most points. She is a reading machine!!! Love it when she sends me her cast-offs....

The Erotica Challenge is called something like 69 days of Smut. Tami is hosting it. I haven't been reading as much erotica lately, so I didn't sign up this time.

Send me a message here or there if you need more info!

[Sarah]

Cindy- Thank you so much for the info! I'll have to look through the games section and see what I can find.

That's really cool that they have challenges and forums, I didn't really look at the site that much except for trying to find books. LOL I'll pay more attention now.

[Mary X]

They have them in the Games Forum. I'm on most of the PM lists from the regular gamers so I usually get a PM when a new game or challenge is starting. There's also a Cozy Challenge going which I would have done if not for the erotica one. I have yet to come acrossa an erotic cozy.

I think the erotica challenge is still taking sign ups. It starts 7/17 (I think). You can get pts for non-erotica books but not as many as erotic books.

[Mary X]

D.G. frequently hosts challenges involving WL books and series books. She changes it up each time as to how the pts work. They're pretty fun.

Sometimes I win credits, sometimes I don't.

The challenges usually cost a credit to join which you may not get back unless you win something.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I hate to see people interested in playing, but no empty spaces. So, if we get one more person who's interested, and everyone on the standby list would like to play, I'll add one more team. :)

[Regina]

Woo hoo! Thank you steph. You are so thorough I am assuming that I am on the stand by - but if not let me be #6. :)

[AH]

Steph, I'm sure that there are more people who wanted to play but saw that the list was closed. That's great that you can do that.

[Regina]

You rock!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

You're welcome, Regina. You are #4 on the standby list. Still one slot open.

Thanks for pointing that out, AH. I've changed the thread title for now.
